New York, December 10, 2021—In contexts such as Afghanistan and Syria, hundreds, sometimes thousands, of individuals have crossed national borders to engage in violent conflicts in which serious human rights violations and mass atrocities have been committed, including by designated terrorist groups. The phenomenon presents complex challenges to justice, security, and peace. On December 13, ICTJ will launch “A Transitional Justice Approach to Foreign Fighters,” a new research report, during a Zoom webinar and expert discussion cohosted by the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland.
